That Old Time Knowledge

These days I often find myself wondering about which things were actually easier before technology. For instance, I know a lady that washes clothes in a bucket with a plunger, I thought about her as I spent a few hours rewiring our Whirlpool. I laugh that our little town basically shuts down without the credit card machines, most cashiers don't even remember the swipe machines. I wonder what people used for baby wipes before the miracles of Huggies with Shea Butter. I recently couldn't think of non sequitur given the definition, so the internet to the rescue. The page itself reminds me of the internet just 8 or 9 years ago. I miss plain text pages, in fact the pages I frequent tend not to have moving pictures. There's another page that I lost for a long time. Botanical has added some content but maintains a 1900ish book on medicinal herbs, preparations, etc.
